Careful there, Marlboro man, you might want to be on his waiting list some day! 
A hermit on social security with a computer…life in the 21st century.
I’m not sure this is the same fellow as makes pipes. The web site your link goes to is signed by a David S. Quinn, whereas the pipemaker of note signs himself as David M. Quinn. Then again, it may be a ruse to put me off the trail. He is, after all, a genius.

Are you seriously doubting that this is the David S.M. Quinn? Of course it is!
PD.
Pat, I have never met the man, and don’t know what he looks like. If you are vouching for him to be the self same person then I would accept that. After all, I am not a genius.

Or is that David M.S. Quinn? 
We know THE David Quinn wouldn’t be using a computer very much, at least not over 680 times. I’d say this is the David Quinn.
The plot thickens
Lorenzo, you forgot the handle “Jeremiah Johnson”. Who actually happens to be buried in a cemetary in Westwood, California, just about 20 miles from where I work.
I like what I have seen of Mr. Quinn’s work, by the way.
Ah yes, good old Jeremiah Johnson. His Mountain. His Peace. His Great Hunts. His Young Bride. His bear-claw pipes. With all that, it should have been different. A mountain man who only wanted to live the life of a hermit became the unwilling object of a long vendetta. Sometimes its better not to read these comments. The thought plickens indeed.
What was David Quinn doing during those yen missing tears?
…
Yep, that’s him alright. That’s what happens after a yen tear absence. No, he doesn’t have a kink in the neck, he’s just switching on the drones.
That must be hard on the teeth.

When the Rev. Quinn says he plays the regulators by ear, he’s not kidding!
No E
Amazing how a beard can blind a blitz of bearded people!
Cool! I recently heard a rumor that David often plays the pipes standing up! It’s true then!
And thanks for the picture showing us how!

He also plays them in a whole manner of interesting positions. A video is currently being made to help illustrate this… funding is being saught to help pay for the project and to get it onto DVD to allow scene skipping etc. If you would like to help this all come to fruition please send me an email at pat@uilleannobsession.com so we can discuss it further and I can tell you where to send your cheque.
NB: Rich people only please.
PD.
